Wuhan Institute of Virology 'Highly Probably' the Source of COVID-19' (David Asher)

#Sky News

The former lead investigator who spearheaded a taskforce for the US government into the origins of COVID-19 has declared the virus may have been the result of work done for a biological weapons program in Wuhan.

David Asher – a now senior fellow at the Hudson Institute – spoke to Sky News about investigations into the origins of COVID-19 and suspicions as to who may have been first infected with the virus in Wuhan.

He spoke of work undertaken at the Wuhan Institute of Virology as well as the theory it may have developed SARS-COV-2 while working on a potential coronavirus vaccine.

The possible vaccine was potentially being developed as an antidote to a bioweapen, he said.

"Whether they were developing this vaccine, if it exists, as an antidote ... hard to know," he told Sky News host Sharri Markson.

"There's going to be the need for a huge global investigation, well beyond the WHO".

He said events and information have arisen which "made us feel the Wuhan Institute was highly probably the source of the COVID epidemic".
